Cristiano Ronaldo officially kicked off his 25th professional season by finding the back of the net in Al Nassr’s dominant 0-4 win over Al Riyadh. That left-footed finish pushed his personal goal tally to a staggering 978 goals, making that 1,000-goal milestone feel like it’s right around the corner.
Off The Bench, Straight To The Net
Missing the opening matches of the season, the Portuguese superstar only played the final half hour. But even as a substitute, Ronaldo looked lively in attack and sealed the rout five minutes from time. That’s immediate impact from a legend, no doubt.
Félix Shines, Ronaldo’s Hunger Remains
Ange Postecoglou’s side also saw an outstanding display from João Félix, who scored once and provided an assist. The biggest takeaway though? Ronaldo’s goal-scoring hunger remains fully intact, even in what they call the “final stretch” of his career. He’s showing up, he’s scoring, and he’s coming for that 1,000 mark.
